So here's mine. 200mb /swap is fine. For a single user, put all of / in one 10g partition, and use the last 10g as a storage partition, eg /stor. You can then keep regular backups of your /home partition and other stuff (mp3, jpg, etc.) in /stor. Here's my reasoning. No matter how well thought out multiple partition schemes are under /, there's a good chance that actual use is gonna fill up one, and not the others. Putting everything all in one big / partition eliminates this. -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay
